There's a lot of famous artists today, but I'd love to discover new pop music that is oriented around a band instead of an individual. Bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd have all topped the pop charts. Glenn Miller's Orchestra topped the pop charts in 1940 with a fully instrumental song In the Mood.
I can think of Sammy Rae and Friends, but no others. What are your favorite modern pop bands? Especially ones with a focus on instrumentals. Edit: thanks for the recs!

Crown Lands is my favorite band releasing new material. Criminally underrated. Amazing live. Amazing art.

I only get excited about 2 bands today releasing music. Crown Lands and Russian Circles (instrumental).

Also, No More Kings is solid.

    I love Crown Lands, but it's far from pop

    I thought that too but you mentioned the stones and Floyd, neither of which I'd ever call pop especially in today's world.

    Also, there's no bands band better than Rush 😁 all insanely talented, all super smart and caring people.

    New world man was 21st on Americas top 40.

    yeah i love rush, and they were closer to pop then than crown lands is today. i wouldnt call floyd or stones pop today, but they charted #1 in decades past.
